Money Laundering & Terrorist Financing – An Overview

Money Laundering is the process of making dirty money to look clean. It is by concealing or camouflaging its unlawful root or of helping any individual who is engaged with the commission of the wrongdoing to dodge the lawful results of his or her activities.

Terrorist Funding or Terrorist Financing alludes to exercises that give financing or monetary help to individual terrorist or terrorist groups.

Money laundering and the financing of terrorism are financial crimes with economic effects. They can undermine the security of a country’s financial sector or its outer steadiness more generally. Effective administrations to combat these threats are essential to protect the integrity of markets and of the global financial framework as they help avert money related misuse. Action against money laundering and terrorist financing thus responds not only to a moral imperative but also to an economic need.
